Why Guatemalan cuisine is healthier and less processed

Guatemalan cuisine is different from American food, not only in flavor but in the way it is grown. The climate in Central America allows crops to flourish and thrive year-round. The food is less processed which forces people living there to eat and live healthier lifestyles.

In a interview with Marcelo Trigueno a former resident of Guatemala for 24 years stated, “ In Guatemala if I wanted seafood , fish in particular I could just go down by the sea and catch my fish , but now being in America I go to the supermarket and I have to choose wisely from all the fish and it really stinks.” In a study done by CDC, processed food overall takes a toll on a person's diet and causes overweight/ obese people.

Guatemala has your typical Spanish dishes such as: enchiladas, guacamole, tamales, and tortillas. Overall Guatemalan cuisine is less processed and more healthier for the body, so next time you take a trip stop by Guatemala and try our great fresh cuisine.
